Acoustic behavior of melon-headed whales varies on a diel cycle. [PDF]
, 2015 Many terrestrial and marine species have a diel activity pattern, and their acoustic signaling follows their current behavioral state. Whistles and echolocation clicks on long-term recordings produced by melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) at ...

Echolocation may have real-life advantages for blind people: an analysis of survey data
Frontiers in Physiology, 2013 Some people can echolocate by making sonar emissions (e.g. mouth-clicks, finger snaps, feet shuffling, humming, cane tapping, etc.) and listening to the returning echoes.

General isochronous rhythm in echolocation calls and social vocalizations of the bat Saccopteryx bilineata [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations.

Spectral and temporal gating mechanisms enhance the clutter rejection in the echolocating bat, Rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]
, 1991 Doppler shift compensation behaviour in horseshoe bats, Rhinolophus rouxi, was used to test the interference of pure tones and narrow band noise with compensation performance.

“What is it like to be a bat?”—a pathway to the answer from the integrated information theory [PDF]
, 2017 What does it feel like to be a bat? Is conscious experience of echolocation closer to that of vision or audition? Or do bats process echolocation nonconsciously, such that they do not feel anything about echolocation?

PLoS ONE, 2018 Acoustic communication plays a pivotal role in conspecific recognition in numerous animal taxa. Vocalizations must therefore have discrete acoustic signatures to facilitate intra-specific communication and to avoid misidentification.

People's Ability to Detect Objects Using Click-Based Echolocation: A Direct Comparison between Mouth-Clicks and Clicks Made by a Loudspeaker. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Echolocation is the ability to use reflected sound to obtain information about the spatial environment. Echolocation is an active process that requires both the production of the emission as well as the sensory processing of the resultant sound ...

Auditory orientation and distance estimation of sighted humans using virtual echolocation with artificial and self-generated sounds [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2022 Active echolocation of sighted humans using predefined synthetic and self-emitted sounds, as habitually used by blind individuals, was investigated. Using virtual acoustics, distance estimation and directional localization of a wall in different rooms ...

Response to Frequency Shifted Artificial Echoes in the Bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum [PDF]
, 1974 In 5 roosting bats the resting frequency, that is the mean frequency of the cf-portion of consecutive sounds, is kept constant with a standard deviation which varies between 30 120 Hz in different bats and at different days. In 15 bats the emitted sounds
